P DRUE CHRISMAN, CINCINNATI BENGALS
While Chrisman chose to sign with the hometown team as an undrafted free agent, his path to earning a regular-season roster spot looks more daunting than Haubeil’s.

The Bengals already have a well-established punter in Kevin Huber, who ranked seventh in the NFL in 2020 with a career-best average of 47.2 yards per punt, so it would be a surprise if Cincinnati made a change at the position this year.

That said, Huber will turn 36 this summer and is only on a one-year contract with the Bengals. If Chrisman performs well in training camp this summer, he could set himself up to be the Bengals’ punter of the future – much like Cameron Johnston did in 2017, when he didn’t make the Eagles’ roster as an undrafted rookie, but was ultimately brought back to take over punting duties in 2018.

The #Bengals are going with Kevin Huber at punter. They are cutting Drue Crisman, per league source.

#Bengals punter Drue Chrisman said he hasn’t been told if he is going to start at punter or if Kevin Huber will. Chrisman says he will be ready to go if his number is called and he has plenty of experience kicking in cold weather conditions pic.twitter.com/EKGnXaJo7h

Bengals elevate P Drue Chrisman from the practice squad for the third straight week. Next week, he'd have to be signed to the active roster -- which could mean the end of the road for long-time Bengals P Kevin Huber. https://t.co/y05p6DkmJt
